Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Qian Ming was sleeping soundly, his snoring was deafening.

Wang Tingyue was lying with his back to them.

Gao Qian made a gesture to keep quiet and glanced to the side. Liang Qian looked over and saw Sun Hu sneaking behind a big tree.

Liang Qian wanted to get up, but Gao Qian held her down and mouthed to her to wait a moment.

Liang Qian pretended to be asleep and squinted his eyes to observe Sun Hu. He looked back as he walked, and only after making sure that no one was following him did he continue to go deeper into the woods.

Liang Qian frowned. Even if he wanted to urinate in the middle of the night, there was no need to be so sneaky, right?

After Sun Hu walked a certain distance away, Liang Qian and Gao Qian followed him quietly.

Each of them hid behind a big tree.

Liang Qian stuck her head out and looked deep into the woods.

Sun Hu saw that there was no one around, so he reached out and plucked a leaf, put it to his mouth and blew gently. Then, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a white dove landed on his shoulder.

Flying slave?

Liang Qian and Gao Qian looked at each other from a distance. There was indeed something wrong with this Sun Hu!

The pigeon turned its head and looked around, and Sun Hu hurriedly caught it in his hand.

Just as he was about to throw the pigeon, he groaned in pain from being hit by the arrow.

Even so, he still threw the pigeon with force and threw it into the sky. Unexpectedly, the pigeon fell straight down from mid-air before it could spread its wings.

Liang Qian ran out from behind the tree. Seeing this, Sun Hu rushed to grab the pigeon. Someone stepped forward and kicked him down, then reached out to grab the pigeon.

Wang Tingyue took out a small paper roll and presented it to Gao Qian who was behind Liang Qian.

Gao Qian opened it and saw only two words: "Yanzhou".

Liang Qian pressed the dagger against Sun Hu's neck: "Who sent you here?"

Sun Hu tried to struggle, but his limbs were so limp that he couldn't move at all.

His eyes moved and he was about to rush towards the blade.

Wang Tingyue realized something was wrong and held him down tightly: "Do you still want to commit suicide?"

Liang Qian quickly retracted the dagger and took out another pill: "If you don't want to try what this medicine tastes like, you'd better explain it clearly!"

Sun Hu turned his face away, unmoved.

Liang Qian smiled and nodded: "This medicine is not something that ordinary people can take. It is said that after taking this medicine, the body will itch unbearably, and you will not stop until you scratch until blood marks appear. You can neither live nor die... I don't know if it's true or not. Why don't you help me try it? Let's see to what extent it can make you crazy?"

Wang Tingyue looked at her in surprise: "This medicine..."

Liang Qian said frankly: "It is the same one you and I took before, but I have made some improvements and it will be effective soon."

While she was explaining, she pinched Sun Hu's face and tried to stuff the medicine into his mouth, but he resisted, trying to shake his head and was very uncooperative.

Wang Tingyue held the man down, and Liang Qian stepped hard on a certain part of Sun Hu's body. He screamed, and at this moment, the pill rolled into his throat.

Liang Qian took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth, and asked Wang Tingyue to help her tie the man up to the tree.

Gao Qian narrowed his eyes and watched quietly from the side. How was her familiarity with the place different from that female bandit in the mountains?

By the time the man was tied up, Sun Hu was already twisting his body, whimpering, with a distorted and painful expression on his face.

Liang Qian patted Sun Hu's face and sighed, "Since you won't tell me, then just stay here and endure it. You may meet a kind wolf or other wild animal to help you out!"

After saying that, he gave Wang Tingyue a look, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Gao Qian thought she was just trying to scare him, but he didn't expect that she didn't stop for a moment. She really didn't intend to pay any attention to Sun Hu and wanted to leave him here.

He looked at Wang Tingyue, and Wang Tingyue also shook his head.

Liang Qian looked as if she had eyes on her back and didn't even turn her head. "I guess he doesn't know who the real mastermind is. Even if he is discovered by his accomplices and his identity is exposed, he will still die. But it's really hard to get rid of the hatred if we kill him now."

She did not forget the Qi army that was destroyed beyond recognition.

They were lucky enough to survive the battlefield, but they still couldn't escape the murderous hands of their own people...

Liang Qian lowered her head and looked at her hands.

Isn’t this the sorrow of generals and soldiers?

Seeing that they were really going to abandon him, Sun Hu couldn't bear it any longer and shouted from his chest, but because his mouth was blocked, all he heard was a strange cry.

Liang Qian then stopped and turned back.

Sun Hu kept twisting his body and rubbing his back against the tree.

Liang Qian took the silk handkerchief out of his mouth.

Sun Hu cried, "My Lady, spare my life!"

Liang Qian looked at him coldly: "Speak."

Sun Hu's eyes were red, he looked at Wang Tingyue, then at Gao Qian, hardened his heart, closed his eyes and said: "It's... it's General Chai!"

Wang Tingyue frowned: "Chai Wenkui?"

Some couldn't believe it.

Gao Qian stared in silence.

Once he was freed, Sun Hu no longer concealed anything and told him everything.

After listening to him, Liang Qian closed her eyes, drew out her dagger and killed the man with one strike.

Fast and accurate, killing with one shot.

Then, without looking at anyone, he walked straight towards the carriage.

Gao Qian didn't even frown and followed Liang Qian back without saying a word. Only Wang Tingyue stared at the receding figure in a daze.

He recalled a time long ago, in the elegant room of Chunhua Palace.

She said: Brother, I have always understood your feelings, but you are interested in the innocent Liang Qian. And I am no longer that me.

She also said: My hands are already stained with blood, my body is covered with mud that cannot be washed off, and my heart is as cold and hard as iron...

When he was in Jinye, he heard a lot of discussions about her inside and outside the palace.

But no matter what they say about the enchanting concubine who is favored by the lord, be she a foxy womanizer or have a heart as vicious as a snake.

He just felt that she was an irrelevant stranger who lived in the mouths of others, and was not at all the Ah'an he had known since childhood, the woman he loved in his heart.

Whenever I hear people slandering her, what comes to my mind are her innocent smiles and frowns in the past.

In his heart, he could use all the beautiful words in the world to describe her, but perhaps that was not enough.

He had seen her best side, pure, kind, and sincere...

But now——

Wang Tingyue slowly shifted his eyes and looked at the body tied to the tree.

It was not until this moment that he truly realized what she meant by what she said.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.

What kind of experience would make her become someone who never leaves her body without poison and a dagger, capable of killing people without any hesitation or fear, and whose decisive and efficient methods are no less than those of a veteran like him?

He stood quietly in the woods for a while, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

Next to the campfire, Wang Tingyue walked up and patted Qian Ming who was still sleeping soundly.

Qian Ming was sleepy and was quite annoyed that his sweet dream was interrupted. Just as he was about to complain, he suddenly saw the person in front of him clearly. He jumped up and looked around in confusion, but he saw that there was no one who should have been asleep.

Looking again, the queen had already climbed into the carriage, with the master following closely behind.

He rubbed his eyes: "...Is there one missing?"

Wang Tingyue said calmly: "Not a few."

After saying this, he mounted his horse.

The carriage drove towards Linchuan.

It was dark in the carriage.

Liang Qian simply tied the curtains to let the moonlight in.

She laughed at herself: "If I had known that General Pei would die, why would I have saved him in the Zhou army camp that day?"

We finally arrived in Linchuan four days later.
